The Gosh Darn Jeff Kirkwold Shotgun Qualifier returned to Forest Lake, MN on August 16–17 as the fifth of six IPSC World Shoot team qualifiers. Despite weather delays from overnight storms, the 12-stage Level 2 USPSA match ran smooth under hot and humid conditions. Highlights included a Saturday night shootoff under the lights and big moves in the team standings: Jon Wiedell edging Varick Beise in Open, Brian Nelson jumping into contention, and pump-gun performances from Ross Haney and Sam Rydberg. With only Nebraska left, the race for Team USA is tighter than ever.
